Le ministère de la défense britannique à dévoilé un chien robot pour détecter et désamorcer les bombes
Pictures must credit: Ministry of Defence Britain’s defence chiefs have unveiled a new recruit — a robot dog for detecting and defusing bombs. The new generation of bomb disposal robots that are much more agile, intelligent, and can take over many of the tasks of the human operators. The Ministry of Defence has taken the four-legged Spot, produced by US company Boston Dynamics as the basis for the innovations. In recent four-day trials conducted by its Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, known as Dstl, the demolition dogs demonstrated their ability to seek out, detect, and classify bomb threats. They were able to diffuse them using the robot’s optional robotic arm or from a shot from a bolt-firing gun fitted to its back, to deal with smaller improvised explosive devices known as IEDs. During these exercises, a human operator was in the loop, but the artificial intelligence capabilities of the robot allowed it to take over many of the tasks. This meant more precise and delicate movements while the operator concentrated on more important aspects of the job. The trials involved a series of scenarios, where the robot was asked to perform various tasks . These included opening and closing doors autonomously, navigating stairs, inspecting improvised IEDs and consequently firing disruptors at IEDs to render them safe. Picture supplied by JLPPA
